The email below was a standard reply sent from Senator Norment or his staff
to the original protests of SB 818. I do not know the specifics of the bill
that was passes in 2002 which already allowed for the destruction of wills.

Thank you for your email regarding SB818. I was asked to carry this
legislation on behalf of the Virginia Circuit Court Clerks Association. The
reason for the bill is due to the incredible number of "unclaimed" documents
that accumulate in the Clerk's office over many years. SB818 did not
authorize the Clerk to destroy the original will. That legislation was
passed by the General Assembly in 2002 and is currently the law in Virginia.
This legislation only authorized the Clerk to destroy the other papers in
the file after five years.
